On November 29, 1893 my grandfather Jesse Lockhart married his first wife Dora V. Clausey or Cleusy depending on which record you are reading. Both Jesse and Dora listed Bono as their place of residence. They were married by a magistrate in Lawrence County, Indiana. There are no children recorded for this marriage and Dora died of consumption in 1896. She was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Salem, Indiana.
Family members will remember that Jesse and Martha Shull were married in Washington County, Indiana on December 11, 1898.
Martha Shull Lockhart my grandmother was first married to Jesse Lockhart and then second married John Little. Martha and John filed an application for marriage and were married by a Justice of the Peace in Salem on October 7, 1916. Several facts on the application do not seem to match official records elsewhere. This application lists her birth date as January 19, 1897 as opposed to her official birth date of January 19, 1876. The application also lists the death of her first husband, Jesse, as May 15, 1908 while official records list the death on May 15, 1909. The witness to the facts being true in the application was Mary Lockhart. I do not know if this was Martha’s daughter Mary, if it was, she was only fifteen years old at the time.

Additional notes on Mathias Gabbert 1728-1798, one of my fifth great grandfathers on the Lockhart side.
In a posting on this website May 1, 2010, I made reference to a purchase of 800 acres in the Bear Spring Track by Mathias' father, Frederick. Now, I know that the following bond states this property was purchased in 1745 however, it more than likely was purchased around 1738. As it states in the bond, the property was purchased from Jost Hite. Hite had purchased over 100,000 acres from the royal government of Virginia and had started surveying and selling part of this property. About this time the crown in London confirmed a grant to lord Fairfax for most of the land in Virginia south of the Potomac River this included the Bear Spring Track. After the Revolutionary War Fairfax lost his right to most of the land in Virginia. And after several lawsuits and several years, the land reverted back to Hite and the people who had purchased property from him. This, of course, is a short, quick version of history but you could always Google for the complete story.

You might notice that the Bond and Certificate are dated May 21, 1787 but they were not recorded until April 6, 1790.
It would appear that the Mathias Gabbert family were Presbyterian at least by the time they reached Rockbridge County. Children Michael who married Rachel Reed in 1786, Rebecca who married Benjamin Hart in 1787, John who married Judith Tuley in 1792 and Elizabeth who married Jonathan Entsminger in 1794 were all married by Presbertian ministers. I have not found any record for my direct relative George who married Ann Reed but I am now trying to find a record in church records in either Augusta, Shenandoah or Frederick Counties in Virgina.
There is an intersting website, Virginia Memory from the Library of Virginia, that has scanned and posted cases from Chancery Courts from counties of Virginia. The scanned images are of some original documents and some court clerk documents.....in this case, 18th century. It does look as if several were written with a dull quill pen and are hard to read and doubly hard to read with the quaint 18th century spelling. None the less, I have tried to follow two cases involving our Mathias and have quoted several of the passages that contain the quaint spelling. Remember, these people transcribing these documents were the educated clerks and in some cases, lawyers of the period.
It appears that on or about the 20th day of October 1769 our Mathias signed a series of bonds as security for Jacob Archenbright. The series of bonds, which were payment for a female slave, were to be paid on differing dates to an Isaac White. It appears Isaac White somehow mislaid at least one of the bonds and requested Jacob and Mathias to either pay the amount that was due to or agree to issue a new bond. It appears that both Jacob and Mathias declined to do so stating that Isaac may have sold the bond to another person. In 1771 Isaac White then sued both Jacob and Mathias for the amount of the bond he lost. There is no final settlement included in this court case posted.
In the second case our Mathias sues the same Jacob Archenbright and Frederick Hanger for non payment for some land and a mill that Mathias sold to Jacob. It appears that Mathias and Jacob wrote an agreement for payment of the property and deposited it with Hanger who was to allow free and open access to each party and supply a copy to either if needed. Mathias sued when Jacob did not make his payments and Hanger refused to give Mathias a copy of the agreement (Or at least, I think that is what happened.).
The following APPEARS to be a copy of the original sale agreement which I have tried to transcribe as written.

JOHN FLETCHER, FATHER OF ELIZABETH FLETCHER LOCKHART
WHO MARRIED WILLIAM LOCKHART
Most of the following information comes from Patty Black, a Fletcher cousin.
Additional information I have found in the records of Henry and Patrick County,

Adair County was formed from Green County in
December 1801. Henry Aton appears on the first
tax list for Adair County, Kentucky in 1802 when
he was taxed for owning 75 acres on the drains of
Leatherwood and having one male over the age
of 21 years of age living in his household. Daa,
yes, that would have been Henry himself.
The above deed is dated 1803. In my view, this
deed to Isaac would strongly indicate that Henry
had been married (at least once) before he married
Febe (Phoebe) in Mercer County, Virginia (now
Kentucky). I don't know the legal age for a male
to own property in Kentucky in 1803, but Henry and
Febe had only been married about 11 years at the time.
It seems odd to me that Henry would sell 100 acres
complete with house and animals to an eleven year
old.

Fletcher
In an earlier posting I stated that Joseph Fletcher was probably the
father of Elizabeth Fletcher who married William Lockhart. Well,
that is incorrect. Elizabeth’s father was John Fletcher.
The following information comes from research done by a
Fletcher cousin, Patty Black.
Marriages of Patrick County, Virginia, 1791-1850, Lela C. Adams
Southern Historical Press, Jan 1, 1984
Elizabeth Fletcher married William Lockhart, daughter of John
Fletcher. Surety, John Fletcher and witnessed by George Penn.
Dated 2-21-1792.
“Apparently John Fletcher was married first to a lady, whose name
is unknown, then to Mirram Parr and then Lillyann Russell…….
”it looks as if your Elizabeth was from the unknown marriage.
My own line, apparently, came from the unknown line. I don't
even have a first name.”
Elizabeth Fletcher and William Lockhart are my 3rd great
grandparents. This makes John Fletcher and his unknown
wife my 4th great grandparents.

Photo of Zachariah and Keziah De Pauw Collier. Keziah was the sister of
Mary Elizabeth De Pauw Gabbert my 3rd great grandmother. After the death
of his father and mother, Joseph Lockhart my great grandfather lived with
Keziah and her husband and is recorded on the 1850 census as a farm
hand living with them.

I have had no luck finding a Mozart avenue in

The indexed 1940 census is due to be published
sometime this year so maybe I will have better
luck then.
